Summary:
I settled down
A twisted up frown
Disguised as a smile, well
You would’ve never known
I had it all
But not what I wanted
Cause hope for me
Was a place uncharted
And overgrown
You'd make your way in
I'd resist you just like this
You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free
So, I did it myself
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more
Open your eyes
Like I opened mine
It's only the real world
A life you will never know
Shifting your weight
To throw off the pain
Well you can ignore it
But, only for so long
You look like I did
You resist me just like this
You can't tell me to heal
And, it hurts remembering
How it felt to shut down
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more
The truth never set me free
So, I'll do it myself

ok... i am so not the type to make some long winded speech, but i feel like this kind of warrants it.
first off, i can't begin to thank all of you enough. if i could, i'd buy every single one of you cookies. I appreciate every single review, email, comment, hell... even just reading this beast.
i've spent two full years telling this story, and it amazes me how many of you have stuck this thing out, despite my insanity. lol.
anywho... THANK YOU to each and every one of you. this entire series was most definitely my baby, and being the total lame ass i am, i'm a little bummed to see it end.
now, i think that's about enough of my babbling.
